Pet cage

Abstract

A pet companion cage is disclosed herein, has three or more rectangular metal fence panels, the rectangular metal fence panels are configured to be connected to each other on sides to form an enclosed area, wherein each rectangular metal fence panel is connected to a neighboring rectangular metal fence panel on both sides through hinges or latches. A supporting beam is provided on the top of each rectangular metal fence panel. All the supporting beams meet above a center of the pet companion cage, being fixed with a plastic member. A tarpaulin is placed over the supporting beams to cover pet cages. At least one of the rectangular metal fence panels has a feeding opening. The feeding opening has a door panel. The feeding opening is positioned on the top half of the rectangular metal fence panel.

I claim: 
     
       1. A pet cage assembly, comprising:
 [1] a group of six rectangular metal panels configured to be serially linked to form a final assembly with an enclosed space, 
 wherein each said panel is configured to be connected on the left to a first neighboring panel and to be connected on the right to a second neighboring panel, both the first and second neighboring panels belonging to the group of the six rectangular metal panels, 
 wherein each said panel has a first vertical bar at the left edge of the panel, a second vertical bar at the right edge of the panel, a first horizontal bar connected to both the first and second vertical bars near a top portion of the vertical bars such that the first horizontal bar is the topmost bar of the panel, and a second horizontal bar connected to both the first and second vertical bars near a bottom portion of the vertical bars such that the second horizontal bar is the bottom-most bar of the panel, 
 wherein each said neighboring panel has a third vertical bar at the left edge of the neighboring panel, a fourth vertical bar at the right edge of the neighboring panel, a third horizontal bar near the top of the neighboring panel and a fourth horizontal bar near the bottom of the neighboring panel, 
 wherein the first vertical bar of each said panel is configured to be connected a fourth vertical bar of the associated first neighboring panel through a first inverted U-shaped hinge structure and a first pair of latch structures in a cylinder shape, the second vertical bar of each said panel is configured to be connected to a third vertical bar of the second neighboring panel through a second inverted U-shaped hinge structure and a second pair of latch structures in a cylinder shape; 
 wherein the bottom corners of the first vertical bar and the fourth vertical or the bottom corners of the second vertical bar and the third vertical bar rest on or are inserted into a second plastic member; 
 [2] a group of six supporting beams, one for each rectangular metal panel, 
 wherein a lower end of the supporting beam is attached to the first horizontal bar of the panel via a tube-like cover surrounding the first horizontal bar, both the lower end of the supporting beam and the tube-like cover being disposed at a distance away from a corner of the first horizontal bar, 
 wherein the lower end of the supporting beam comprises a short leg and a long leg, 
 wherein the lower end of the supporting beam is conformally and permanently connected to the tube-like cover through the short leg along a length direction tube-like cover and oriented along the horizontal direction of the first horizontal bar, 
 wherein each supporting beam configured to extend from a top of the panel to a position above a center of the pet cage such that the top ends of the six supporting beams meet at a common position above the center of the pet edge and are joined by a common first plastic connection member 
 [3] wherein at least one rectangular metal panel with a feeding opening, the bottom edge of the feeding opening is above the middle point of the first vertical bar or the distance between the top edge of the feeding opening and the first horizontal bar is less than the distance between the bottom edge of the feeding opening and the second horizontal bar. 
 
     
     
       2. The pet cage assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each supporting beam of the pair of supporting beams has a top end, and the two top ends of the same pair of the supporting beams are joined together to form a connection and the connections between the two top ends of the pair of the supporting beams are further joined by means of the first common first plastic connecting member above the center of the pet cage. 
     
     
       3. The pet cage assembly of  claim 1 , wherein: the side of each rectangular metal fence panel is connected to the neighboring rectangular metal fence panel through the inverted U-shaped hinge structure and the pair of cylindrical shaped latch structures, and the inverted U-shaped hinge structure is provided with a pair of latch bases, and the pair of latch bases configured to receive a pair of latch rings. 
     
     
       4. The pet cage assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein: a second latch assembly is provided for the door panel, which is made of a second latch and a second latch base, wherein the second latch is inserted to the second latch base from a position under the second latch base and moved upwardly, a reset spring is disposed between the second latch and door panel, configured to be moved upwardly to secure the second latch. 
     
     
       5. The pet cage assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the lower end of each supporting beam is hingedly attached to the top of each rectangular metal fence panel. 
     
     
       6. The pet cage assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , capable to connect to another same pet cage assembly through either the first vertical bar at the left edge of the panel, or the second vertical bar at the right edge of the panel.
